Use -u to start in fullscreen

Thanks. I found the -u switch yesterday in another thread, using it does not make a difference though.
Strangely, the -u switch is not being listed at all (dom3 --help).

Someone more knowledgeable than I am might find a hint in the debugging info. Again, Dom2 works just fine on this machine.

Code:

---

 $ dom3 -d -o -u

Might be the combination of the newer version of the SDL library and your particular graphics card.

Try using the SDL library from Dom2 (1.2.7.0) with Dom3 (1.2.11.0), and the other way round. (backup the old files, or zip them up, first, o.c.)

As of 3.02 -u didn't run in full screen on Linux for me either. It uses a maximized window, but not full-screen.
Nor was there any other way to get to full-screen.

-u and Alt-Enter both worked in the initial release.

[Dedas]

I run it with --fullscreen and it works wonders.

Dedas: Does -u work for you? Or switching with Alt-Enter?

[Dedas]

I did some testing:

Version 3.04
-u // working
--fullscreen // working
Alt-Enter // not working
Fullscreen switch in preferences menu // not visible

Version 3.01
Same results as above
-u // working
--fullscreen // working
Alt-Enter // not working
Fullscreen switch in preferences menu // not visible

Version 3.00
Haven't tested recently, but I remember that I could both see the fullscreen switch and use Alt+Enter.
And I know for a fact that I played in fullscreen without adding any switches to the start script. Yes, I have several witnesses .

I run Fedora Core 6 (Zod) fully updated yesterday (the 6 of December) with nvidia's latest drivers on an Athlon 1733Mhz with a Geforce 6200.
